He's not a stopgap, and he isn't some high-priced superstar. He's just a very good OL that will be with the team for years to come.

Plug him in at G and let Peterman, Allen, and Gurode fight it out to see who starts at the other G position. Larry's gonna be gone real soon and we need a good replacement.

Just like we never looked back or thought twice signing Glover, I don't think we'd ever regret paying a good sum to get him on our team.

Get a RT to go with him and our OL would instantly be one of the better in the league.

I really wish we'd sign him. Young. Good. Smart. Work ethic. Exactly the type we need to build around.

I say plug him at RG...next year move him to LG and never look back. If Peterman is any good he can take over RG in 2006.

This would be a KEY acquisition for us... no... it is not a sexy signing... but it is rock solid and neccessary...

Wahle's versatility and intelligence would go a LONG way... plus he's a Navy grad... so we know he can remember snap counts (shout out to Flozell)

I'll take Wahle and Rivera.
